Practical Significance (or Insignificance) of a Household Goods Moving License
Since you are reading this article, chances are you will have the pleasure of moving to a new location soon. I bet you are all excited about spending all that time planning, packing, running around making various arrangements, and going through other joys associated with relocation.
That's called sarcasm, I am sure you've heard of that before. More likely than the scenario above, you are sitting on a chair, holding your head with both hands, thinking of the things you should have done differently in your life to not have brought this nightmare, which, you are sure, was sent to you from above as a punishment for something.
To be more exact, that's how you looked like 5 minutes ago. Right now, you are googling. Looking for a moving company that can save your life. And that's how you came here.
Every moving company you've talked to or visited website talks about a household goods moving license. Sounds like they are very proud of it. What do you care, right? It's couple of people picking up, loading, and then delivering your items couple of blocks away. What are they bragging about?
To some extent, you are absolutely right: moving license will not help you choose the best movers. But at least it will give you couple of guarantees, which you will not have if you go with someone found around the corner.
- To obtain and maintain a moving license, moving companies have to meet certain insurance requirements. And although insurance coverage usually is not extremely high, at least you'll know they have something.
- Businesses operating under federal or state authority are governed by certain transportation laws, which protect the consumer. They do protect moving companies as well, but that is a totally different subject.
- After obtaining a moving license, movers have to follow certain procedures and follow the rules of doing business. If they don't follow them consistently, they lose the license. So, if they have a license, chances are their service is at least of a decent quality.
- Most of the states require criminal background checks before issuing a moving license, to protect consumers from having felons entering their house and taking over their belongings.
As it was said earlier, a fact that someone holds a household goods moving license does not guarantee you will be clapping your hands from joy when the moving day comes. But at least you will know the people that you let in your house are registered with the authorities, possess insurance and are doing at least an OK job (or better).
That's a big step up from hiring some random dude on the street, opening your door on the move day, and seeing Freddy Kruger with his team ready to make your moving day special!

Movers were professional and kind. They protected boxes marked fragile and wrapped large furniture. Overall they handled all my items with care. Richard Gordon was accurate with my cost and communicated well with me. I will use them again if needed. Several large pieces of furniture were placed where I needed them. Nothing was broken or harmed. quotes |

What a great company and service team. I stumbled across them searching for movers. I've used them 4 times so far for moving. One of my moves were sudden and they were able to fit me right in with no problems. I would refer them to anyone. One of the best moving experience I've had in a log time. From the office staff to the actual movers, all presented great customer service. quotes |

My boyfriend and I needed some help moving at the last minute. I contacted Milestone and they gave me all of the details. Once they arrived, they loaded our items in less than 30 minutes. I was impressed by their work performance. They were able to get us moved under the two hour mark. They were very professional every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone. quotes |

Milestone did a great job at helping my wife and I with our local move. The move was from an apartment building to a house. They arrived early and were quick with moving everything. They protected the furniture well and were professional. I would use them again in a heartbeat. I have already recommended them to my friends quotes |

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and your company for the awesome job your guys did today. We never could have moved my son's things down four flights of stairs alone. Your guys were pro's at it. They were very courteous and professional. They worked very hard and it was a pleasure to have them. They set a fine example for your company and I will recommend them to anyone that I know that needs a moving company. quotes |

The two gentlemen that moved us could not have been better. They were professional, on time, courteous, thoughtful and extra careful. I had expectations and they exceeded my expectations. They knew exactly what they were doing and their expertise showed. At the end of the day I hugged them good-bye. Definitely use this company when considering your next move. They make it simple and easy which is exactly what you need at moving time. quotes |
